10 Things I've learned on issues of life

1.You can never rely on someone to be always ready to help you.

2.You can never trust anybody to save you. If they will, then good. But never be confident to anybody. You have to work by your own.
(and of course,except God, Because it's HIM who always makes a way)

3.Never believe on someone's promises. It's better not to believe them, than believe them and get hurt.

4.Don't expect anything from someone, you will only get disappointed.

5.Know that all people around you are not perfect. They would fail you, offend you, and hurt you. (even the closest person in your life)

6. But no matter how many times they fail you, you should not get tired of forgiving them.

7.And if possible, always let love and goodness abound. (It's always possible. It's just a matter of mind set)

8.It's normal to get angry, but never grow any grudge in your heart. It won't do any good to you.

9. In every situation,learn to listen. No matter how reasonable it is for you get angry, still learn to listen. There's always an explanation for everything.

10. Help yourself to be happy. Like what they say, "Life is too short to spend it in despair." 

And Happiness is very much like success. You have to work hard for it. Since life is full of negatives,happiness won't just come to your way all of a sudden. Except for some times.

Last thing, walk with God in the journey. Make HIM your guide in every step of the way. And Priotize things that matter to HIM :) :) 

Good luck! Wish you a good life!

It's December!!!!

For our beloved PASTOR WENNY BIERNESA

There is a sacredness in tears. 

They are not the mark of weakness, but of power. 

They speak more eloquently than ten 

thousand tongues. 

They are messengers of overwhelming grief...

 and unspeakable love.

 -Washington Irving

At 3am today, December 2, 2013,

Our beloved pastor and father PASTOR WENNY BIERNESA passed away . It was a great sorrow to all his family and church but deep in our hearts is a little  calmness and joy knowing that he's nowhere else but in God's loving care in heaven. He's a great man of God. 

-He is a  man who is firm in doctrine, and never did compromise sins.

-A man whose heart longs for the salvation of souls.

-A man whose thought is for God's glory alone. 

We might not see him again, but we'll always remember him.

We might couldn't hear him again, but we'll always remember his teachings.

He's maybe gone, but He will always stay in our hearts.

May the Lord be praised and glorified forever and ever. Amen.

If you die today, are you 100% sure that you would go to heaven?

People are in different classes. Some are rich, some are poor. Some are popular,some are bullied. Some are luxurious, others are simple.But we all have one thing in common. We have souls and we all gonna die. And what would matter in the end is where our soul would go.The bible is telling us: There are only two destinations: Heaven and Hell

And of course people want to go to heaven!

But the question is: How to get there?

Others say, by doing good works.

Doing good works won't bring us to heaven!!!

And normally, people would say: "Well, I am not so bad. Though I seldom go to church but I'm not a murderer.I don't steal. I even help others sometimes. I have donated to the needy. Yes, I've committed sins but I'm not really that bad to go to hell. So maybe there's a chance that I can go to heaven."

CHANCE! There's a chance but not assurance. This kind of person is just hoping a little but one is not saved by just hoping especially in a wrong hope; he is saved by trusting. 

There is no way we can earn Heaven. Titus 3:5 says, 
“Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us!” And Ephesians 2:8,9 plainly states, “For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast!

     Moreover,let's remember that  Heaven is holy. And we commit sins from time to time.Even the bible describes us as: 

"But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away." Isaiah 64:6King James Version (KJV)

How then could our GOOD WORKS bring us to heaven when we are all just an unclean thing?

The answer is : No way! Never possible!

And this would lead us to another question:

Is there no place for good works in the Christian life? 

To be sure there is. Ephesians 2:10 says,“We are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works!” Once we are saved, God expects us to serve Him, to perform good works; but we don’t do it to be saved or to earn Heaven; we do it because we love Him and want to serve Him.

One must remember that over and over the Scriptures make it plain that one is saved by grace through faith.

John 3:36 says, 

“He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life.”It says nothing about doing good works. John 3:18 says, “He that believeth on

him is not condemned.” It says nothing about good works.. Romans 10:13 says, “For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.” It says nothing about doing good works. John 5:24 says,“Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life!” It says nothing good works.

We could make a long list of passages which state we are saved by simply believing on the Lord Jesus Christ, that is, trusting Jesus Christ as Saviour.

Jesus Christ, Is our only SURE WAY to heaven!

When the Philippian jailer asked Paul and Silas,“Sirs, what must I do to be saved?” they answered, “Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved.” “Believe” means to depend on, to rely on, to trust. We must trust Jesus Christ to take us to Heaven.

Trusting Jesus Christ means :

I come to Christ admitting that I’m a sinner and admitting that I should pay for my sins. It means I believe the Bible story that Jesus loved me, and that 2,000 years ago He died for me on the cross to pay my sin debt. Then I put my case in His hands. I fully depend on Him 100% to take me to Heaven when I die. My only hope of Heaven is the fact that Jesus Christ died for me, and I am trusting Him to take me to Heaven when I die. I want no other hope. I need no other hope.

Dear friend, which group are you in? Are you trusting Jesus  Christ? Is He your only hope of Heaven? If not, I urge you to trust Him now.

Pray this simple prayer:

Dear Lord Jesus, I know that I’m a sinner. I do believe 

that You died for me. Here and

now, the best I know how, I do trust You as my Savior. I am fully depending on You to

take me to Heaven when I die. Amen.


If you prayed that prayer and would email me, I'd be so glad and happy for you.

Favorite Songs and Praises:"I will sing unto the LORD as long as I live: I will sing praise to my God while I have my being."

I keep falling in love with You Lord​

Every beat of my heart, breath that I take​

Through the seasons that change​

Your love remains​

My hiding place, my home​.

Lord, when you placed your hands upon me​

I knew that I would never be the same​

For in that moment I became your servant​

And since that day, I only have one aim

​

My soul-desire is to be used​

An empty vessel longing to be filled by you

To work each day and build

Your Kingdom, this is my soul desire.

Lord, I do not seek to claim the glory

I only wish to be under your control

For I know that you alone are worthy

And it's You who placed this longing in my soul.

Press Forward

You've made a mistake? Forget it. You've done great? Get over it and do more. Your life has not stopped. Even apostle Paul said: 
...but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before.Philippians 3:13
We have no hold of yesterday, nor of tomorrow. So make your present a beautiful one.

Trust

I trust in the Lord not because everything is going well. But despite the circumstances I have been going through right now, I still do hold on to his word: 

"Blessed is the man that trusteth in the LORD, and whose hope the LORD is."Jeremiah 17:7

True Love

True Love is from God. And He won't give it to two hearts who are not right for each other.So love is not begged. It’s not forced. It’s freely given.

Hints are: It glorifies God and it’s mutual. If it’s not mutual, then you have not found true love yet.

Just always be honest. Always be yourself. Always be true.

Moreover, stop thinking too much.

For It will just come. Instead, prepare yourself for it. Grow mature, be strong, and labor hard for the Lord.
